Wes Anderson

          Wesley Wales Anderson was born in Houston, Texas. His mother, Texas Ann (Burroughs), is an archaeologist turned real estate agent, and his father, Melver Leonard Anderson, worked in advertising and PR. He has two brothers, Eric and Mel. Anderson's parents divorced when he was a young child, an event that he described as the most crucial event of his brothers and his growing up. During childhood, Anderson also began writing plays and making super-8 movies. He was educated at Westchester High School and then St. John's, a private prep school in Houston, Texas, which was later to prove an inspiration for the film Rushmore (1998).

          Wes Anderson is a personal favorite of mine. His work transends reality with a keen eye for color theory and strict camera angles that provide the viewer with a profound sense of space although most of the time the space is altered by the camera. Up above is a model of the grand budapest hotel that at first seems undoubtably real and tricks the audience. His signature techniques have been said to have been inspired by Fracois Trufaut, an earlier film director.
